The assistant · Basic · 6 min

What you can ask the assistant (with examples to copy)

There are no magic words to learn. Talk to it the way you would talk to someone helping you with your mail.

In short

You can ask the assistant to summarise, draft, translate, search your emails, tell you what is still pending and prepare actions for you. Write in plain words in the right-hand panel; if you want it to talk about a specific email, open that email first.

Step by step

  1. Open the panel on the right

    That is the assistant panel. If you cannot see it, switch it on with the assistant button at the top of the window.

  2. Open the email you want to talk about

    The assistant knows what you mean because it can see the email you have open. With no email open it answers in general terms.

    Morning Júlia,
    confirming that Thursday at 10 works for us. Could you send the quote in writing beforehand?
    Thanks!

  3. Write in plain words

    “Summarise this”, “say I will be there on Thursday”, “what does this email mean?”. No need to be polite or write perfect sentences.

  4. If you do not like it, say so

    Answer in the same chat: “too long”, “more direct”, “be more formal”. It remembers the whole conversation and redoes it. While it works you see every lookup it makes.

Common questions

Will I break something if I ask for something odd?

No. If it does not understand, it asks. And nothing it drafts is sent on its own — there is always a step where you read it.

Do I have to write properly?

No. It copes with half sentences, typos and abbreviations. Write the way you speak.
